PC just keeps beeping.

It won't start up properly. Just two beeps every few seconds. I've tried the following: Replaced CMOS battery, Disconnected everything. HDDs, ODD, Wi-fi card, graphics card (there's onboard graphics), the lot, Removed all the RAM, and tried each one separately in different slots. I've no idea where to go from here. Anyone…

Anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?

The manual for the motherboard will describe the beep code and what it means, I'd start there
